Jolly good show Chris and Scott! Thanks for the videos. I hope you'll post the whole story and results soon.

Great vids...

I just had a thought about a mod I did on my Taco that I would pass on to you guys. I'm sure you all have plenty of experience with the hypersenstive ABS chatter that Toyota likes to use. I mounted a toggle swith on my dash that was tied into the e-locker module. The switch disabled the ABS in high range so at rallye speeds I could lock up the brakes to get the truck sideways. I can go back and look through the diagrams is you're interested in the mod.

Dave,

I could have really used that mod on the Ralley. I had to run with my rear diff locked all the time just so I could stop, and "motivate" the rear of the truck around in the turns...

 

[BajaTaco]

Excellent idea!

I never even thought about it, as I don't have ABS

I am working on my NVTR pics now...

Looks like lots of fun! Need to set up something like that here in Texas.

Nice looking Toy's!

BN Guy,

I want a better picture of your truck Looks very cool...

Maybe a new thread in the Toyota forum?

This is in the very early stages of thought, but I am actually considering doing a Camel Trophy like event here in AZ...

 

[The BN Guy]

Done...

I'm talking about using well known up fitters here in the US, not some local guy that seen a few 4wd conversions and thinks he could do the job for 6-7k!!
I would pay Ujoint gladly just to know that it would be done right the 1st time!!

Replying to the wrong thread? If someone wants to charge you $6-7k for an ABS disable switch, your paying the wrong guy
